Baron AdoIphe ROthschiId's Lovely Retreat
On the Shores OF Lake Geneva.

Baron AdoIphe RothschiId's Lovely Retreat
the Shores OF Lake Geneva.
When Baron Adolphe, who married
his cousin of Vienna, had one of those
fits of mortal ennui which seem like the
hereditary curse of their opulence, he
suddenly conceived a violent desire to
possess Villa Pregny, a small domain
situated on the lOveliest hillside of the
slopes overlooking the Lake of Geneva,
about two miles distant from the city,
and possessing every charm that nature
and Swiss scenery can confer. He
narrowly, eagerly disputed the price,
but finding the owner firm he consented
to give the sum required, for, as be re-
marked, "Pregny has the one thing
which, with all my money, I can not
get, for I can not grow trees six hun
dred years old"
That was twenty years ago, and the
unpretending little villa was at once
swept away and magnificent building
erected on the site where it stood. It
Is square, something after the style of
the old French chateaux, and its daz-
zIing whiteness prOclaims its recent
origin as much as the absence of all
antecedents or associations. The tour
list and the traveller are rarely allowed
the privilege of visiting Pregny. The
owners do not follow the example of
the grande seigneurs of England, Italy
and France, who, when they are the
possessors of historical houses filled
with treasures of art, consider them
selves only as landlords, and deem it
duty to admit the stranger to view
their heritage.
The entrance to the principal court
is by splendid wroUght-iron gates; the
gardens are so marvelously laid out
that on a comparatively restricted ex-
panse the roads and paths seem to
stretch and wind for miles. The
grounds are profusely stocked with
rare shrubs and flowers, conservatories
blazing with exotics, winter gardens
containing gigantic tropical trees, avia-
ries filled with foreign birds of rare
plumage. a riding school ike the one
at Chantilly can be converted into a
summer ballroom; numerous guard
ians in gray liveries pace the grounds;
they see that not leaf rests on the
velvety swards, that not a faded bios
som remains on plant or shrub.
In the interior of the residence gold
is profuseIy scattered on tables, mir
rors, walls and ceilings; the carved
cabinets contain within their glass
doors varied collection of antique
china, worries, old silver and iewelry,
purchased wholesale for fabulous prices
at the antiquaries, who have a standing
order to forward any rare specimen.
All around the garish and human mag
nifcence of Pregny lies in oppressive
contrast the statelier, ealmer, grand -
magnificence Of lake, mountain a i

COSTLY GARMENTS.

Some Extravagant Clothing Recently Made
for New York Society Ladies.
A tour of the most fashionable dress
making shops up town shows that more
money is being spent on women's
clothes than ever before in this town.
In one salon, as the principal man
dressmaker calls his reception parlOr, /
saw an opera cloak of red plush lined
with red satin and made without a
hood for wear in carriage in the even
ing for trips to and from parties, the
opera and theaters. Its price was not
extraordinary, it was $50, but the
dressmaker told me it was the third he
had made this winter for one customer.
First he made her a white one of knit
worsted lined with white satin and
quilted. That also cost $3.50. Next he
made hsr one of embossed velvet, gor-
geously lined, for 1925, so that this
particular dame win be able to feel
comfortable and well dressed in her
coupe this winter, though not dozen
persons except her husband and coach
man viii see here there.
Bet the most money is being put out
in furs. Russian sable is the object of
fashionable favor, because it is the
most expensive Of all furs and can not
be made common. The common sable
costs $50 a skin, but real first-class Rus
sian costs $3.50 to 500 a skin, each one
being considerably smaller than that Of
the average cat. Sable sacques are
made up for as little as 81, 200 or 81 800,
but the principal furrier in town re-
norris that he has made M two this win
ter at 81, 900 eaeh-one for Mrs. Nor
gan and one for a lady in Cyrus W.
Fields household ~ T. Letter.

How a Seedy-LooIcing Individual Enjoyed
Himself without Expense.


Himself without Expense.
Yesterday afternoon, about three
o'clock, dog with tin kettle tied to
its wagging machinery was observed
on Austin avenue. The dog did not
appear to be much alarmed at the ket-
tie any more than the average politi-
clan is when he is nominated to lu-
crative office. He took it as matter
of course. There was q tail, seedy-
looking young man standing near a
crowd on the sidewalk. He looked in
tently at the dog for a moment, and
then said:
"By thunder! that is Banker Thomp-
sons little daughters lost dog he has
offered fifty dollars for.
Immediately five different men, with
their mouths sticking out like mucilage
bottles, tried to whistle, and saying:
That's a good little doggyr' adj
vanced on the astonished animal. One
very respectable-looking gentleman,
with a silk hat on, tried to detain the
animal by his handle, but the dog got
mixed up with his legs, and down he
came like pile-driver. Several hack
men, who were subsequently arrested
for leaving their teams, joined in the
canvass, and when the procession
turned the corner, with the dog and at
tachment twenty feet in advance, al
most every class of our cosmopolitan
population had its delegate in the
pageant Then it was that the sleek
young man doubled himself up, and
went behind door until his emotions
had passed oyer.-Te1as Sifti7zos.

First the acorn, then the shoot,

Which baby's hand may pull;

This way, that way, night and morn,
Go the little hbers forth;

Run they, gathering, es they go,
From the eartn and sky and air;
While the trlnE and branches grow,
Ring on ring, and day by day,
Taller, greener and more fair
SLOW, but ceaseless; in this way
is the mighty oak tree born.

Needing constant ministering;
Such a tender germ, and small,

Reaching out, IL seeks and takes

AL the various tests of Fate,
Still dissatisfied to be
Barred by any hindering gate,

Never man but grew by these
Impercertible degrees.

How a Shrewd Ambassador COMPOUNDED
the Byzantine Court.
When HaltOn, one of the officers OF
Charlemagne's household, went on an
embassy to the Byzantine Court, he was
invited by the Greek Emperor to dine.
and placed by him in the midst of his
mobiles. There was an established law
among the Greeks that no one at the
Princes table should turn over the
body of any animal that was served up,
but that they should eat Of the part THAI
was uppermost. On this occasion >
fresh-water fish was brought up. gar
nished with various sauces, and the
Ambassador, who knew nothing of the
customs of the country, unfortunately
turned the fish over, upon which the
courtiers, filed with indignation, arose
and, addressing the Emperor, said:
DO not suffer yourself, o, Emperor
to be treated with disrespect that was
never shown to any of your ancestors
Command that this stranger, who ha;
broken your laws in your very pres,
enee, be instantly put to death.
The Emperor answered, turning te
Halton, and signing:
II can not refuse the request of my
Lords, but ask of me any other boor
but that of your life, and I win grant
it. ="
Halton reflected for moment, and
then said:

grant, most gracious sovereign, that all
those who saw me turn the fish over
may have their eyes put out"
The Emperor, astonished at the
strangeness of this request, vowed thai
he had not seen it done, and had only
pronounced the word of others.
The Empress also was perfectly posi-
tive that she had seen nothing of it
and the mobiles one after another made
the same declaration. The result wal
that as no one had seen the offense ht
could not be punished for it--On7at

They Are Now Made from the Skins OF
LOng-Haired Young HeiferS.
lChicago Journal
A hide and leather merchant gave me u
pointer for news item. He informed me
that substitute for buffalo robes is find
ing its way INTO the market. With the ex-
termination of the buffaloes on the West
ern plains, the supply OF that class of
robes has become exhausted, and the
skins of young cattle are being utilized to
take their place. 'eThe skin of a heifer
from six weeks to year DID, said the mer-
chant, ''is lOng-haired and furry, and after
being properly tanned makes as good and
serviceable a robe as the buffalo skin.
This fact has been recently discovered, and
there is one man in this city-a hide-buyer
at the great beef-slaughteringa and packing
housewife is preparing ten thousand Of
these hides for the market this season, for
clothing and robe purposes-in fact, for al
the purposes for which the buffalo hides
have so long been used. This new indus
try, if it proves successful, will be a great
thing for the butchers and beef-packers,
by creating a new channel for the sale Of
the hides of their young cattle at good
prices" My informant told me, further
more, that there are different technical
names for the hides of young cattle. Those
of newly-born calves are known by the
term "deacons," and those of calves from
six weeks to a year old are known by the
term 'El1ip-skns." 1t is only the tanned
'lxip-skins' that are fit for manufacture
into clothing and robes. The "deacons"
are not long-haired or furry enough, and
the hides Of cattle over a year old are in
other respects deficient for any such pur-
pose.
